SMACKS OF HOMAGE TO ROYALTY.

By vote of 81 to IL the Milwaukee
West Side Turner society, the most in
fuential in the state, declined an invita-
ton to join the procession on the occasion
of President Cleveland's visit. The rea-
son assigned is that the honors to be paid
the President smack too much of the
homage paid royalty in Europe. The
South Side and Vorwaertz societies took
similar action.

quirement Of the river aud harbor act
Of August 8, 1885, "that no works of
bank protection or revetment shall be
executed anywhere on the Miss sslppi
river until after it shall be found that
the completion OF the permssble con.
tracing works will not secure the de-
sired stability OF the river banks"
Toe communication says This require

lated, will rot scour lis natural banks.
1t says: an tho opinion OF the Com
mission the idea that the Mississippi
river can be permanently improved by
contraction works alone is purely Wis.,
ionary and Theoretical, contradicted
by experience and not supported by
auy good authority, To adopt such a
